Contextual Overview

¹I have loved, because YHWH hears My voice, my supplication, ²Because He has inclined His ear to me, || And during my days I call. ³Cords of death have surrounded me, || And straits of Sheol have found me, || I find distress and sorrow. ⁴And in the Name of YHWH I call: Ah, now, O YHWH, deliver my soul, ⁵YHWH [is] gracious, and righteous, || Indeed, our God [is] merciful, ⁶YHWH [is] a preserver of the simple, || I was low, and He gives salvation to me. ⁷Return, O my soul, to your rest, || For YHWH has conferred benefits on you. ⁸For You have delivered my soul from death, || My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing. ⁹I habitually walk before YHWH || In the lands of the living.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. As in the sight of the omniscient God, according to his word and will, and in such manner as to please him. So Enoch's walking with God is by the apostle explained of pleasing him; compare Genesis 5:22, and so the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, and Arabic versions render it, "I will please the Lord"; or, as the Syriac and Ethiopic versions; "that I may please the Lord"; be grateful to him; or walk gratefully and acceptably before him, sensible of the obligations I am under to him: and this, in the strength of grace, he determined to do "in the land of the living"; in this world, where men live, and as long as he lived in it; or in the church of God, among the living in Jerusalem, with whom he resolved to walk in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord. The land of Canaan is thought by Jarchi and Kimchi to be meant; and this being a type of heaven, the meaning may be, that he should walk and dwell where living and glorified saints are to all eternity; and so it is an expression of his faith of future glory and happiness, agreeably to what follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I will walk before the Lord ... - Compare Psalms 27:13, note; Isaiah 38:20, note. This expresses a full belief that he would live, and a purpose to live “before the Lord;” that is, as in his presence, in his service, and enjoying communion with him.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 116:9. I will walk before the Lord — אתהלך ethhallech, I will set myself to walk. I am determined to walk; my eyes are now brightened, so that I can see; my feet are strengthened, so that I can walk; and my soul is alive, so that I can walk with the living.

The Vulgate, the Septuagint, the AEthiopic, the Arabic, and the Anglo-Saxon end this Psalm here, which is numbered the cxivth; and begin with the tenth verse another Psalm, which they number cxvth; but this division is not acknowledged by the Hebrew, Chaldee, and Syriac.
